Sunrisers Hyderabad have built a compact but effective spin-bowling group for IPL 2026, combining all-round options with specialist spinners to suit different match conditions. While SRH rely heavily on their pace attack, spin will play a key role in controlling the middle overs.
Zeeshan Ansari
The leg-spinner is SRH’s primary specialist spin option. Expected to play a bigger role in IPL 2026, Ansari will be tasked with picking wickets and applying pressure during the middle overs.
Nitish Kumar Reddy
Primarily an all-rounder, Nitish can contribute useful overs with his off-spin. His ability to bowl part-time spin adds flexibility to SRH’s bowling combinations.
Kamindu Mendis
The Sri Lankan all-rounder offers ambidextrous spin, capable of bowling both left-arm orthodox and right-arm off-spin. This unique skill set gives SRH valuable match-up options.
Aniket Verma
While mainly a batter, Aniket can provide part-time spin when required, offering additional flexibility in long spells.
Shivang Kumar
Signed at the auction, Shivang Kumar adds domestic spin depth and serves as a backup option across the tournament.
With Zeeshan Ansari leading the spin attack and support from versatile all-rounders like Kamindu Mendis, Sunrisers Hyderabad enter IPL 2026 with a spin unit focused on control and adaptability.
